My Experience with Retatrutide (Personal Journey)
I wanted to share my personal experience with retatrutide for anyone curious about real-world results. This is strictly my own experience — not dosage advice or cycle recommendations. - Starting Point I started on October 7th at 224.7 lbs, alongside a locked-in diet and a dialed-in training program. My progression looked like this: - 1 mg per week for 6 weeks - 2 mg per week for 2 weeks - 3 mg per week for 6 weeks - 4 mg per week as my maintenance level (this is where I felt best) I ran this from October 22nd to January 4th. Total loss during that time: 41 lbs I averaged roughly 4–6 lbs per week. * 1 mg Phase (Intro Stage) I started at 1 mg because I was honestly nervous. After about two weeks: - Food noise decreased slightly - Hunger was still present - Weight loss felt slow - Effects felt minimal Looking back, 1 mg is a good introductory amount for maybe the first 2–3 weeks just to see how your body reacts. Staying there longer didn’t personally do much for me. In hindsight, I probably stayed here too long. * 2 mg Phase This is where things started to click. What I noticed: - Much better appetite suppression - No snacking cravings - Eating meals normally and feeling satisfied - Consistent fullness - Gym energy stayed solid One downside I noticed: Mornings felt groggy / lower energy right after waking up That could be a dealbreaker for some, but once I later introduced other peptides, this improved. For this post though, I’m keeping it strictly about retatrutide. * 3 mg Phase At 3 mg, fat loss really accelerated. This is when I consistently saw: - Strong appetite control - Steady weekly weight drops - Much easier adherence to dieting - Less mental struggle around food I was deep into a cut at this point, and despite eating less and less, I maintained a surprisingly good amount of strength. Yes — lifts went down eventually, but I was also in photo shoot prep / aggressive fat loss, so that was expected. * 4 mg Maintenance
